Cattle Slaughter
In West Doubled
In Last 25 Years
"Cattle and calf slaughter in
the West has more than doubled
in the last quarter of a century",
says a new bulletin released by
the agricultural experiment sta
tion at Oregon State college.
The publication, "The Quality
of Western Beef", lists a large
increase in population as the
principal reason for such rapid
gains in beef slaughter.
From July 1, 1951 to June 30,
1952, three out of five cattle
slaughetred in 10 western states
graded prime, choice, or good, re
ports the bulletin.
On a regional basis, 41 percent
of the slaughter in Oregon-Washington-Idaho
graded prime,
choice or good. In the Wyoming-Colorado-New
Mexico-Utah re
gion, 73 percent of the slaughter
fell in the three top grades. In
California-Nevada-Arizona, t h e
figure was 61 percent.
Authors of the publication, C.
W. Vrooman, OSC agricultural
economist, and Harold Abel of
the federal agricultural market
ing service, Denver, Colo., found
some seasonal differences in
slaughter between various grades
of beef in the area covered by the
study. They report the tendency
is for more than half of the year's
supply of good and choice to be
killed during the first six months
of the year. In the case of com
mercial and utility cattle, most
of them are killed during the last
six months.
In general throughout the year,
the amount of cattle falling in
the three top grades tends to be
somewhat lower during the fall,
higher during the early spring
and summer months, the authors
explain. For each grade,-the
proportion of the year's total kill
in each month was similar in all
regions.
It was also found that packing

plants permitted to ship between
states killed higher quality beef
than those limited to within
state business. This was narticu.
jlarly true in the Pacific North
west region.

research publication are avail
able at county extension offices
